Behind The Scenes: Brooklyn Decker’s Cover Shoot

Brooklyn Decker is no stranger to cover shoots--she did appear on Sports Illustrated, after all. But her SELF shoot was the first to promote her latest venture: acting! Go behind the scenes on our February set.

Decker arrived in skinny black J Brand jeans and a black tank top and couldn’t have been warmer. The model quickly got down to business and made everything super easy for our fashion team–she was willing to try on anything and everything, but particularly loved the Isabel Marant dress and Tory Burch sweater featured in the video below.

In between posing, Decker told us about working on her new movie, Just Go With It, with co-stars Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston. “My first day on the set with Jen, Adam came up to me and said ‘Try your hardest not to call her Rachel Green,'” Decker confessed. “Then it was all I could think about! I was a such fan of her work. She is the queen of comedy. I caught myself talking on her mannerisms just from watching her on set so much. I just wanted to be a sponge.”

To get that awesome bikini body, Decker works hard–but she won’t play tennis with hubby Andy Rodderick. “I’m just too competitive when it comes to sports. If I’m not going to be any good, then I’m not going to put my time and effort into it,” she told us. “But I think one day I will out of respect for my husband and his entire life.” Instead, she prefers yoga, pilates and outdoor activities, like kayaking, surfing and hiking.
